[PUBLIC COMMENT] Call for volunteers - Updated GNSO Stakeholder Group and Constituency Charter Amendment Process

[Tomslin Samme-Nlar]

Dear members,

The following new public comment proceeding is currently open for inputs.
We are looking for volunteers to contribute to the draft comment to be
shared with the rest of the group for review before submission. If you are
interested, please let us know.

*Updated GNSO Stakeholder Group and Constituency Charter Amendment Process*
*Description:* The ICANN Bylaws (Article 11, Section 5.c) state that each
Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO) Stakeholder Group and its
associated Constituencies “shall maintain recognition with the ICANN
Board.” To maintain recognition, the ICANN Board considers and approves any
charter amendments for those groups.

As a best practice, each GNSO Stakeholder Group and Constituency reviews
its charter regularly. In September 2013, the ICANN Board approved a
Process for Amending GNSO Stakeholder Group and Constituency Charters
(“process”).

Recognizing the continuous evolution of the ICANN community and the review
roles of the ICANN Board and ICANN organization, the ICANN organization
proposed updating the process. The proposed updates to the process would
streamline the governance work of GNSO Stakeholder Groups and
Constituencies, ensuring their continued focus on policy development.
*Notes*: This has been a couple of years in the making, with the NCUC
Charter being the last to be updated under the old method. It was waiting
on OEC approval, and it has finally received it.

*Submission Deadline:* 5 November 2025; 23:59 UTC
